This was really awesome! Very cool that you used mini-games to repair the ship and the cutscenes / art / sound design was fantastic. Nice job.

Spooky Midnight SnackReally cool! I like it.
Complete with a lot of mechanics, captivating and coherent art style on every different minigame.

Castle XXXIIII thought it was cool that you had little minigames to complete in order to repair the ship rather than just an immediate death. The cutscenes and bosses looked pretty cool, however it felt quite jarring when the cutscene with the musical sounding text sounds were contrasted by just little sound effects during gameplay, I felt it could benefited with some background music.

Brazen BurglarWe really appreciate the feedback! Unfortunately, the lack of background music is largely due to the constraints of the Nokia being monophonic. If we had a background track, it would be constantly interrupted by the player and enemy firing, so the musicality of the cutscenes was our way to reconcile with that fact. If we decide to break the Nokia limitations in a post-jam update though, we’ll definitely add some music throughout. Thanks for playing!
There's plenty of stuff going on here! It's a little weird that the dark enemies are invulnerable to being shot, but I got used to it pretty quickly. It's also interesting to see a side-scrolling shooter that's top-down and person-based, rather than R-Type-style spaceship-based! Good work :)

Spacy Mazy 3310Very well-made game. Has a story, artistic flair, several mechanics, and stays fresh when playing through.

Beyond VisionHey you! Yeah, you: the person browsing the game jam submissions thinking about trying out this game or not... Just try it. Its GREAT!
There's so many mechanics built into it: platforming, maze solving, narrative, side-scrolling shooting... Mostly though, imo this game shines because the dialogue and story are 10/10 XD

Left Among Dead in SpaceGenerally a nice-looking and well-executed game.
I did feel that the text speed of dialogue was excessively slow, and would have liked space to advance to the end of pages of dialog instead of skipping unfinished paragraphs entirely. Simple changes to this UI would have made the plot more enjoyable.
In gameplay, I rarely felt that there was any reason not to hold down fire continuously. A charged shot, a limit on projectiles in the air, an ammo limit, or any number of other mechanics could make firing something that benefitted from careful timing.
